If your constraint validator has dependencies, such as a database connection,
it will need to be configured as a service in the Dependency Injection
Container. This service must include the ``validator.constraint_validator``
tag and an ``alias`` attribute:

Your constraint class should now use this alias to reference the appropriate
validator::
As mentioned above, Symfony will automatically look for a class named after
the constraint, with ``Validator`` appended. You can override this in your constraint class::

public function validatedBy()
{
return 'alias_name';
return 'Fully\Qualified\ConstraintValidator\Class\Name'; // or 'alias_name' if provided
}

As mentioned above, Symfony will automatically look for a class named after
the constraint, with ``Validator`` appended. If your constraint validator
is defined as a service, it's important that you override the
``validatedBy()`` method to return the alias used when defining your service,
otherwise Symfony won't use the constraint validator service, and will
instantiate the class instead, without any dependencies injected.
